5 octaves concert Cristal (2000)

Description :
This Cristal of a range of 5 octaves is developped in 2001 for Miss Ingeborg STEIN and Mrs Xiaogie CRISTAU.
The turn of the century brings a new beaming to the BASCHET works, the BASCHET Cristal becoming one of the rare acoustic instruments invented in the 20th century and belonging to a new instrumental family.
At the time, Bernard and François BASCHET are appealed to by a third generation of Cristallists. The fundamental research then led, brings a greater sensitivity in the high-pitched sounds and an extensive bass draw stop. It will result in the creation in 2001 of a second generation of Bass Cristal.
This instrument constitutes "The Jewel" of the BASCHET workshop and symbolises the passing on of the know-how begun by the BASCHET brothers towards the BOUSQUET workshop.
